DropdownSearch<UserModel>(
dropdownSearchDecoration: InputDecoration(labelText: "Name"),
asyncItems: (String filter) async {
var response = await Dio().get(
"http://5d85ccfb1e61af001471bf60.mockapi.io/user",
queryParameters: {"filter": filter},
);
var models = UserModel.fromJsonList(response.data);
return models;
},
onChanged: (UserModel? data) {
print(data);
},

Layout customization #
You can customize the layout of the DropdownSearch and its items. EXAMPLE
Full documentation here
Attention #
To use a template as an item type, and you don't want to use a custom function itemAsString and compareFn you need to implement toString, equals and hashcode, as shown below:
class UserModel {
final String id;
final DateTime createdAt;
final String name;
final String avatar;

UserModel({this.id, this.createdAt, this.name, this.avatar});

factory UserModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
if (json == null) return null;
return UserModel(
id: json["id"],
createdAt:
json["createdAt"] == null ? null : DateTime.parse(json["createdAt"]),
name: json["name"],
avatar: json["avatar"],
);
}

static List<UserModel> fromJsonList(List list) {
if (list == null) return null;
return list.map((item) => UserModel.fromJson(item)).toList();
}

///this method will prevent the override of toString
String userAsString() {
return '#${this.id} ${this.name}';
}

///this method will prevent the override of toString
bool userFilterByCreationDate(String filter) {
return this.createdAt.toString().contains(filter);
}

///custom comparing function to check if two users are equal
bool isEqual(UserModel model) {
return this.id == model.id;
}

@override
String toString() => name;
}
